ya, no new players are interested because of the "elite" vets that stick around, or take breaks and come back, this game is amazing but simple marketing aspects have been neglected, the fact is, this game is made up of some of the most competitive people in the world, they fight hard, are active and dont deal with people that don't understand the game
therefore, this atmosphere, like broker said, does not invite new members, which is fine
solution?! in order to teach new players, you must increase fam size, reduce the number of families so that new players get randomed into 1 of 15 to 20 fams, in which, there will be guaranteed some vets that can run the show and direct/teach newbies to become allstars
those that care have left, those that are competitive stick around, broker makes a good point about the slander in forums
im not gonna deny im a dick or dont slander people, but it does happen and it does make newer players feel like theres no hope of gaining the confidence or experience to join a top fam
DON'T GIMMIE THAT MELLOCHIA!
